Overview

Monique is dying of cancer, lying in bed in the apartment above the store her family owns. Her philandering husband carries on with life, her son remains aloof, and her daughter-in-law wonders if she is witnessing her own decline. They all struggle to express, or feel, their love for one another.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
